Stupid things you’ve done with a gun.

About five years ago, I was leaning out the passenger side window trying to shoot a skunk and got my shooting hand thumb knuckle behind the slide on a G20 10mm. That took a nice chunk of meat out.[/QUOTE]

My Dad told me "you'll only do that once". Is that true? Reason I'm asking is cause I did it once and I hope it never happens again ( PAINFULL ).

When I was a small boy in the mid 1940s I saw my dad do that. After that he switched to revolvers and I never put it all together untill just now! He never liked autos in any type guns.

I've bought a Beretta 92FS.

I did that as well a number of years ago. I've since corrected that error.

My father is just a bit more flexible. In a hunting arm, he wont have, nor allow the presence of an auto, be it rifle or shotgun. Its too easy to rely on mag capacity over marksmanship and judgment.
"Working guns" and recreational pieces is where he'd make exceptions to that rule.
I agree with him on that ... ya keep your fun, hunting, and your combat separate.

Unnnnh! Injun says one shot, one deer. Two shots, maybe one deer. Three shots, no deer!

I am 56. "Back in the day" In High School I was about 17 just got a kinda draft notice. Me and the " guys" was drinking talkin about vietnam, and drinking alot more. A very close friend handed me a UNLOADED pos revolver.............THANK GOD I pointed it away from a person when I pulled the trigger. I learned something that will stay with me for the rest of my life, Ernie
